COVID-19 Extension of Time to File and Pay

2nd Quarter Estimated Payments Still Due on June 15, 2020
Estimated tax payments for the 2nd quarter are still due on June 15 for both Income Tax and Corporation Business Tax taxpayers. Any 2nd quarter payments made after June 15 will be considered late and may be subject to interest charges. Only estimated payments originally due on April 15 have been extended to July 15, 2020.

On April 14, 2020 Governor Murphy signed into law the "COVID-19 Fiscal Mitigation Act" (P.L. 2020, c.19). The Act automatically extends certain tax filings and payments originally due on April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020.

Individual Gross Income Tax, Partnership, and Corporation Business Tax calendar year filers now have until July 15 to file and pay these taxes, including estimated tax payments due on April 15. Penalties and interest will not be imposed on the balance of tax due between the original due date and the extended due date for returns and/or payments submitted by July 15, 2020. All other returns and payments are due on their original due date (including 2nd quarter estimated tax payments for calendar year filers).

This payment is from the federal government and is sometimes referred to as a “stimulus payment.” These payments are automatic for most taxpayers who meet the income guidelines. No further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019, including most seniors and retirees. No State or federal taxes will be taken out of your stimulus check, and any stimulus money received does not affect your 2020 tax return.

New Jersey cannot provide any information about the amount, eligibility, or when you may receive a payment. Please visit the IRS website for more information.

30-Day Penalty Relief for Corporations for 2018

The extended filing date for the 2018 New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Return on October 15, 2019, is the same due date as the federal return. We will automatically waive the late filing penalty for a corporation business taxpayers with a properly extended federal return due date of October 15, 2019, if the return is filed by November 15, 2019 for extended calendar year corporations (or filed within an additional month of the extended due date for 2018 returns for fiscal year corporations).
We will consider elections made timely, if the elections are made on a 2018 New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Return filed by November 15 (or within an additional month for an extended 2018 return for a fiscal year corporation). Interest and penalties for late payment of the tax may still apply. Failure to file by the November 15, 2019, date may result in the imposition of a late filing penalty based on the October 15, 2019, due date.
